I Wonder

I wonder what it would be like
To stand on top of that tree there
On the tip of the top of that mountain
I wonder what that would be like

I wonder what it would be like
To see from the tip of that tree
To look down on all the world
I wonder what that would be

I wonder if I would be scared
To stand on the tip of that tree
I wonder if I would look down
And all the earth I would see

Would the wind rustle right through my hair?
Would I reach up and touch the clouds?
Would the weather be bright and fair?
Or the world hidden under a shroud?

Would the clouds roll 'neath me like waves?
Would I be thrashed by thunder and rain?
I think this while I look at that tree
I wonder what it would be like
